I just wanted to warn any other enthusiasts about a vendor I found online named ARCADESHOPPERS.COM. The guy who runs the site (Greg McGill) claims to put together MAME cabinets and charges about $4k in advance. You can guess what happens next.... Greg came up with no less than 8 different lame excuses about why he couldn't finish the cabinet and then refused to refund my money even though he still couldn't deliver it. I should not have trusted him, but chose to give someone on the internet a fair chance versus going to real vendors and I should have known not to pay up front. I imagine enough people trust this guy that he makes a meager living scamming folks who just want to buy a game. I am putting posts on all websites associated with MAME and plan to pursue legal action to have his site removed. |

Well the correct website is www.arcadeshopper.com (not arcadeshoppers.com). yes I am an idiot. I paid with c2it (similar to paypal) so does anyone know if there is any recourse? The very least I want to do is spread the word among gamers that this guy is a crook. I think he figured he had a live one so he keeps stringing me along with lines like "I needed to degauss the monitor before I send it to you...blah blah blah..." |
